good to see the tuaman back, the heavyweight division is better with guys like him in it, maybe he can get a rematch wth ruiz sometime

Doesn't sound to promising. I hope he get serious about it and gets in better shape. He hasn't looked good in many years.

i heard a few days ago he was down to 235lb, but he weighed in at 251lb, so he must have gone straight in the fridge after the interview! still a chance for him to make some money, with the hw division being so poor.

That sucks that Americans can't see it til Saturday - WHEN IT's ON PAY PER VIEW - A TAPED DELAYED PPV WITH NICOLAY VALUEV'S FIGHT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ON PROFILBOX AS AN UNDERCARD

And it doesn't list the price on the program information

"After nine fairly evenly shared rounds, the 10th was the one that counted with Tua�s famed punching power too much for the Colorado fighter.
Earlier, wearing black trunks with silver trim, Tua entered the arena on a platform bearing the "Tua of Duty" legend."

It's amazing that a journeyman fighter that was outweighed by 50lbs lasted 9rds,and wasn't even blownout by David Tua.That just says to me that Tua isn't even half the fighter he was in his prime.Maybe Tua should fight Tyson,and the loser retires,lol.We dont know whether the two short sluggers are contenders or pretenders at this stage in their careers(im leaning toward pretenders).

the only answer i can come up with as to why tua has gone downhill, is that he has been going up and down in weight the past few years and this appears to have weakened him a great deal, in the same way it did to bowe

i think tua vs tyson would be an interesting matchup right now.

and you can't compare tua to bowe right now. Bowe won his comeback fight in round 2. Tua did it in 10. Unless he gets a lot better fast, then he is going to lose his first fight against a top 20 guy.

yes but bowe beat an even bigger bum than tua beat, but even still tua looks to have faded a great deal
